Welome to TWIN 21…

This year’s Annual is a little different. Normally we leave the event talk to the websites, newspapers and content creators, while focusing on more timeless stories for our magazine. But this time we decided to open up the mag with a closer look at three very different events.
First up is the
@backcountryinvitational — going five years strong and on it’s way to becoming an international sensation. Has it found an answer to competitive skiing by shifting the focus away from winning?
Then we take a last look at five years of surreal snow sculptures through the artistic eyes of
@theo.acworth . The Swiss incarnation of
@thenines.cc has taken us on a wild ride, from Crans Montana to Schilthorn, and we wish them well as they take their fleet of PistenBullies off to Japan.
Last but not least, we get the inside intel on, “L’Amicale” which offers a more inclusive approach to backcountry adventures. Join the crew from
@glacieroptics as they perfect the art of uphill skiing, mountain safety, and après ski.
From there, it’s movie time with a closer look at the crew from
@simplyrc.co ’s trip to Japan,
@mountaintriber ’s morning ascent of Piz Muraun and
@giuliatanno ’s experiences while filming for a new documentary.
Finally,
@funkyguegini gets the ender with some wise words about skiing in the shittiest snow. This magazine may be full of idillic powder and beautiful imagery, but with the right mindset you can always find ways to have fun.
